I went to a 6:00 am class, and due to residents living above the studio, you wear headphones. That way, the music is played through the headphones instead of blasting EDM at 6:00 am. I enjoyed this format because I could focus on myself and the prompts from the instructor. Parking can be tricky, but since I went in the early AM, I parked right in front of the studio. I will probably buy a class package because I like trying new workouts and studios.

I took my first barre class at barre3 and while it was super tough, I left feeling strong and…read moreaccomplished. My instructor was Ashley (I think) and she was so sweet and encouraging. The studio was super clean, well-ventilated, and organized. She gave me a quick tour and helped me pick out my equipment since I was new. The class was a full hour, and was shaking by the end of the warmup, it is an incredibly leg heavy workout. The chair sits similarly destroyed me. Arm and core work came after leg, and I was much more comfortable doing those, but the barre leg movements were challenging for me. My legs ached for days after, but I will definitely be back! Pro tip for this barre3 location specifically, it's only a few blocks away from Wayfarer Bakery and Bird Rock. I strongly recommend pre-ordering for both places and just setting the pickup time for after your class! There are many beaches and cliffs in the area where you can sit and eat. Breakfast with a view after a good workout, what more do you need!?

I patiently waited a whole year to write my review because from the moment I walked into this…read morestudio, I had a feeling I was going to love it & I did! This is a women owned business & I cannot be more proud of Erika & Leeann for doing what they do, what they've accomplished, & what is yet to come! This studio isn't your typical Barre studio, they really do teach more than just Barre, but also connecting to your mind, body, & soul. I love the fact this studio is not a chain, which makes it more special because it locally owned & their technique is impressive! I noticed there is never more than 10 people in the class, which is a plus! The instructors are able to concentrate on helping everyone with their forms & it becomes more personal compared going to a chain. I love the fact that every class/workout is different! The esthetics of the studio is what makes it different as well. Everything from the scents to décor, it gives a good energy & it literally doesn't make you feel like you're at a typical gym or workout space. All the women who work in the studio really do put in all their efforts to make everyone special & feel so welcomed. Try a class & you won't regret it!

Class sizes are small and Erika and LeeAnn are amazing instructors! One thing so unique about this studio is Erika makes sure your form is correct so that you don't hurt yourself. After I mentioned I was having back issues to Erika after class, she spent some time with me to make sure my form was correct and I haven't had any issues since! So appreciative of Erika and the Barre and Bay Wreath community. I hadn't taken barre classes previously and was very weak when I first started, but I always felt welcome. Love coming to classes here and can really see the difference in how strong I'm getting!! Can't wait for my next class!!

5 Stars for Alba! I…read moretook Alba's group Pilates class last week and wow -- she is truly something special. Her cueing was so clear and intuitive that I finally felt my feet-to-heel connection in a way I've never experienced before. It completely changed how I moved through the exercises and left me feeling grounded, aligned, and so much more aware of my body. Alba has this calm yet confident presence that makes the whole room feel supported. She pays attention to the little details, gives hands-on guidance when needed, and somehow manages to make a group class feel personalized. I walked out feeling longer, stronger, and genuinely inspired. If you're looking for an instructor who knows her craft and helps you tap into those deeper Pilates connections, go to Alba's class. She's amazing.

After taking a hiatus from Pilates to have my babies I found myself back in action this year and…read morehave never been happier to finally incorporate Pilates back into my fitness routine. Anyone who has had a baby knows that it can do a number on your pelvic floor. Not giving away too much detail, I was in great need of some strengthening in my pelvic floor. I have been religious about my time with Studio Flo because I want to ensure I have a strong foundation, especially as I enter menopause. Every single woman, babies or babies, requires special attention to their pelvic floor once menopause hits. In the last several months I have seen a true difference in my function as my previous symptoms have lessen. This is all thanks to the teachers at Studio Flo who have a deep understanding of the human anatomy and what it takes to strengthen from within. They have spent the time correcting my form and going the extra step to explain and show things when I needed the extra help. I cannot recommend Studio Flo enough. It got me back to feeling like myself again. Thank you for providing a studio filled with teachers who have been trained by the best

Prior to Covid, barre was my go to group ex workout. I've been to a number of different studios and…read morenotice they all have their own formats. For me, Pure Barre's format is the hardest to attach to. I don't know what it is but I can't quite get into the rhythm of the routine and prefer The Bar Method as it feels more alignment and placement focused than the quicker pace of Pure Barre. However, I think the draw to Pure Barre is that the format is faster and it can feel more entertaining and well paced. The instructor was very friendly and I like that she provided corrections. The studio location itself though is tough. Parking in the area is rough and the room is a little small.

The instructor was friendly, and it stood out to me that she knew so many people in the class by name. I think this speaks to the community that is cultivated at this studio. The class was fast-paced, and the instructor did come by to adjust my form, but I think the number of students would discourage me from attending this class time again. I recommend this studio if you want an intense low-impact workout

I definitely was pushed in this session. I was feeling the burn, but with her upbeat music choices, humor, and lively demeanor, I finished, and muscles on my body that I didn't even know existed were tingling. As we ended the session with some stretching, I felt extremely accomplished. I highly recommend taking a few sessions with Maggie, regardless of fitness level. Anytime you can get an intense, hour-long workout, that is fun and goes by quickly, I would do it. I personally look forward to my next one with her. Austin

Barre3 North Park is my happy place!…read more I've been a longtime Barre3 fan--originally a member at the La Jolla/UTC location before it sadly closed during the pandemic. I took a break to try other studios, but nothing quite compared. When I moved to Downtown San Diego about 3.5 years ago and discovered the North Park studio, I knew I had to give it a shot. I started taking classes again through ClassPass and was immediately reminded why I loved Barre3 so much--the workouts are still challenging, empowering, and incredibly well-rounded. I officially rejoined as a member during a New Year's special in early 2023, and as of today, I've completed 294 classes! What I love most is the variety: Signature for a balanced, full-body burn Strength for more resistance-focused training Mindful Flow when I need a yoga-inspired reset Every instructor is genuinely kind, welcoming, and so good at what they do. Whether you're a first-timer or seasoned regular, you'll feel supported and challenged in the best way. Parking can be a little tricky--you'll need to find street parking in the surrounding neighborhood or pay $5 to use the nearby parking structure. Avoid Thursdays if you can, because the Farmer's Market makes parking a bit of a mission. Salina, the owner, is fantastic. She recently acquired the Studio Barre in Mission Hills (soon to be another Barre3!), and I've just switched my membership to that location since it's closer to me and has easier parking--but North Park will always hold a special place in my heart. If you're looking for a consistent, encouraging, and fun workout that meets you where you're at, Barre3 is it. I'm proud to be a part of this community and plan to stick with it for years to come!

This barre studio is one of the best things to have ever happened to me. I'm in my 30's and I've…read morefinally found a form of exercise that I *genuinely* enjoy AND *look forward to*! The variety of classes are great and offer an opportunity to try strength building, cardio, and yoga. The signature class is one of my favorites, allowing for muscle building and cardio bursts, all while remaining low-impact. After 1+ years of consistent classes, I feel the STRONGEST I've ever felt. I was a regular athlete all through highschool and into college and would deal with frequent injuries. Barre3 is the first time I've felt like I can grow at a sustainable rate without risk of injury. Each class also ends with a breathwork session and this has easily been one of my new favorite routines. I now regularly incorporate breath work into my personal life outside of Barre3 and it's been such a nice mental health technique to keep in my back pocket. However, it's the instructors that are the true standout here. They are all SO welcoming, kind, genuine, and have THE best positive energy. I remember being welcomed and guided through my first class so kindly, and I've watched them all welcome other newbies hundreds of times since. They keep it real and give space to the hard parts of daily life and the outside world; but as soon as everyone crosses into the studio - it's time to let that go and it is SO cathartic. It's impossible to leave this studio without being in a better mood than how you arrived - even on the happy days! We're moving to North County and this Barre3 studio will easily be one of the parts I miss most about North Park! All of the Barre team and all of the regulars are such a happy, joyful part of my day and if you're considering this studio - I hope you'll say yes so that you can have this positivity and strength in your life too!

Where lagree can sometimes be a little more intense, I like that intentionality of pilates and the focus on both form, breath and overall body awareness. I came trying the new member deal and the first two classes were good, but then I took class from Sylvia and it was great! When you find a really stellar instructor, it's always so much fun! She's really good. For one, I always love when an instructor makes a point to get everyone's name so that she can call out affirmations and fixes by name during the class. But, she's also just a lot of fun. Her classes are challenging and mix-in a lot of different movements that make class fly by! I made it a point to book her classes for the remainder of my class passes. The PB location can be a little tricky with parking. The lot can get full and the area can get busy, especially during peak tourist season, so leave some extra time to account for parking!
